An inside look at the San Francisco Giants through our photos.

Turn Back The Century – 1912

Team Photo (check out the photos below to see the reaction to Brandon Belt wearing a SF sweatshirt over of his jersey)

TURN BACK THE CLOCK… The Giants and Cubs wore replica uniforms from 1912 today… Some elements from today’s turn back the century game include:

• The scoreboard had a vintage look and videos were not shown.
• There was a roving barber shop quartets outside the gates.
• Giants photographers, ushers, security guards, grounds keepers and other staff wore 1912 era garb.
• Only organ music was played the entire game.

These photos show the beauty of what baseball used to be (or at least a slice). Baseball has such a rich history, and having a throwback game like this must have been an absolute ball. Much appreciation from a Royals fan in KC.

Very well said! I don’t know if you remember, but a few years ago the Giants did a Negro League/Turn Back The Clock day when we were in KC – we were the Brooklyn Royal Giants (I don’t remember who the Royals were). Everyone had a wonderful time sharing their knowledge of the Negro Leagues and thinking about what went before us (especially since the uniforms were not wool – sometimes “filtered” history is the best).

Unfortunately we are not able to sell these images, but we are going to feature this day is the July issue of Giants Magazine so you could cut one out of there – although I’m not sure if The Great Bum Bino will be featured in any of the shots :)
